A mixture of 10 mL of benzene (MW= 78.11 g/mol, d=0.88 g/mL) and 50 mL of p-xylene (MW=106.17 g/mol, d=0.86 g/mL) is distilled.

Calculate the mole percent of each component, and using these mole percents and the figure below, answer the following questions:

1) What is the initial boiling point of this mixture?

2) What is the composition of the vapor in equilibrium with this liquid? What is the composition of the initial condensate from simple distillation?

3) Instead of simple distillation, you set up a fractional distillation. Assuming three threoretical plates, what is the composition of the first fration collected?
